Tanzania's Ministry of Finance published an update profiling the Capital Markets Tribunal (CMT) as a mechanism for resolving capital markets disputes, including ownership disputes and delayed payments affecting investors and brokers, and for reviewing decisions taken by supervisory authorities. The release, delivered as public education at the Ministry’s stand during the 49th Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair (Sabasaba), described the CMT as an independent forum that resolves disputes between investors, brokers, listed companies, investment fund managers and regulators under section 136A(1). It also set out an appeal route for clients dissatisfied with a supervisory authority’s decision under section 136H(1), and noted the Tribunal’s role in interpreting capital markets laws under section 136G(2) to help prevent misconduct and support market integrity. Investor protection was framed as including safeguards over savings and institutional funds, with the Tribunal taking action against embezzlement, poor performance and rule breaches; the CMT is chaired by a High Court judge and has four members with finance and legal expertise.
